2000 TL-P Standing Start Video
Here's a short video of my car just punching it from a standing start in Auto mode. In the car and outside. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2f2AUM46-4

Thanks, it was fun to make. I used Pinnacle Studio 10 and a DV video camera. Studio 10 is fun to play with. Easy editing and cool transisitions. I wished I could have shown the whole thing, but YouTube made me shorten it due to size. The two orange lights in the dash are the traction control light (traction control shut off) and a check engine light because my oxygen sensor is bad from when I did the headers. Someone told me to take it out and torch it to remove impurities, but I haven't tried it yet, otherwise I'll replace it in the spring as the car hibernates in the winter. Yeah it justs shifts into 4th at 100mph by itself. I would have kept going, but I hit a corner at 100 and it got a little hairy with one hand on the wheel and the other on the camera!

nice vid. that shit sounds mean and looks pretty damn quick. thatll teach me never to underestimate the tl-p.
btw, did you feather the gas in 1st? or did it just break traction, and when youre tires caught the rpm's dropped back down to like 5k.

I have the '99 just like you do, but when I'm flooring it, it won't shift into 4th until just past 100mph. I find it funny. That car sounds crazy though.

Dude your car is so much faster then mine, I think I need to do some upgrades........ real soon.
Yes, the upgrades made a huge difference!! JUST DO IT as Nike would say.
nice man...4 speed too...but i thought 2nd generation 2000+ TL's had 5 speed and the 99 have 4 speed? and V-Tec lagged at 2nd gear before shifting to 3rd??

To answer the above, it's a 2000 5 speed. Yeah, beware of sneaky TL-Ps. I raced a friend once, who had a '00 Type S w/ CAI and wheels. I didn't have the headers then and I walked him from a light. He was surprised too. The V-Tec didn't lag. This was not a race start. I just stomped it from a dead stop, it burned thru 1st, briefly shifted into 2nd, the tires caught and briefly back to first. Yes it shifted into 4th at 100mph. Didn't get a chance to see when 5th would hit because (please don't flame me) it was on a 40 mph road and I came to a curve.

do the tl-p's have lsd? whenever i do a deadstop start, itll burn till about 5k, and then catches... ive never been able to burn through 1st like you did. here is an example. i started the same way you did. i took this the other night after i installed my intake.

i didnt catch traction till after vtec, but it still caught. my tires are 225's, not sure what yours are. just wondering if you have a freak motor making mad torque, or if my motor is weaker than it should be. but if you dont have lsd, that explains it all.

You're probably right about the limited slip. I don't think I have one but I'm not sure. I know there's plenty of experts on here that can answer that.
special e. dition
I floor mine all the time and I'm on my original tranny w/ 225's. maybe I've just been lucky?

Now that I think of it, he had clear top rears, so it probably was an '02. It was a couple of years ago and the mind is going!
